I was writing about India and Infosys when the news came as a flash on my reader. Of course it isn't "news" since this happened two days ago already, but it is of importance, because I'm a huge admirer or genuine talent and genius, especially so people oriented as Aaron was. Swartz was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment on January 11, 2013.

Facespace?
A post on The Oatmeal remembered me of what was upon a time... How Tom Anderson and DeWolfe sold and how Facebook beat myspace, and of course, the ultimate drop, the connection to myspace through facebook. Brrr...

Use Akismet if you are on Wordpress and take a deep … [Read more...]

It was a pleasure to see the wet shaving being promoted so nice in the last James Bond movie. I'm going to review Skyfall in the future, now I only notice that it was one of the best made in the series. More human touched at least, without humanity in the script. So James Bond, the character, uses a straight razor, a silvertip brush and all the other classic shaving accessories, the mug was visible, so it is to be presumed that a soap was on the bottom of it as well. [source] I was … [Read more...]
